STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - THE SMURFS - THE SMURFS ALL STAR SHOW

[maggot]

Good Tuesday morning to you all and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again. Today we remember New York born voice actor, Don Messick, on the 26th anniversary of his passing. He was born September 7, 1926 to parents Binford Earl Messick, a house painter, and Lena Birch (née Hughes) and is best remembered for his many roles within the Hanna-Barbera cartoons including by-Doo, Bamm-Bamm Rubble and Hoppy in The Flintstones, Astro in The Jetsons, Muttley in Wacky Races and Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, Boo-Boo Bear and Ranger Smith in The Yogi Bear Show, Sebastian the Cat in Josie and the Pussycats; Gears, Ratchet, and Scavenger in The Transformers, Papa Smurf and Azrael in The Smurfs, Hamton J. Pig in Tiny Toon Adventures, and Dr. Benton Quest in Jonny Quest. He died on this day in 1997, age 71, after suffering a stroke. We honor his legacy by spinning The Smurfs All Star Show by The Smurfs. The LP was released in 1981 on Sessions Records and produced by Frans Erkelens. The disc sees the little blue gnomes smurfing along to songs about Smurf land, Yankee Doodle, the London Bridge and more.

This is one of two Smurf albums we have, the other being Smurfing Sing Along. We also have a couple of Smurfs Marvel Comics and some figurines I've included in the pictures section below.
